VPN
I have Gigablast service and just downloaded and set up a VPN service. Everything works except sending email. I have a Cox email account and use Outlook. I can receive emails with no problem. And...
VPN providers sometimes restrict certain ports, such as email, to prevent malcontents from using their VPN service to freely spam, phish or infect addresses. If a VPN provider becomes a source of maliciousness, service providers, such as Cox, could blacklist their IP address. This would be bad for their business.
You'll need to contact your VPN provider to verify your intent and allow your port.
